Et Tu Brutus

At the beginning of the Civil War, l861, Lincoln had, as his Commanding General, George B. McClellean who was so inapt in this position, that Abe Lincoln, before relieving him of his command, got to a point that he asked the General if he could barrow the Amy. This, by implication, shows how Lincoln had felt about the general and his lack of ability to conduct the war On the other hand, George W. Bush, helped a young man to advance his career by taking with him this young fellow, Scott McClellan to Washington to become part of his Staff and to eventually become his Trusted Sp0kesman.. In this manner, Bush elevated the status of Scott to perhaps to the highest position of this kind, in the land. An what was his, Busch's reward--a stab in the back! In my humble opinion, Scott McClellean, like George McClellan, was in every word, a Traitor to the very man, who would have stood by his side through "tick and tin" and what did he get in the end, a book denigrating his Presidency by a cheap shot underlying such as Scott McClellan. In his attempt to put a good face on this cowardly act, he claims he went to Washington in the hopes of helping to unite our government. This is, on the face of it, ludicrous. It was not his place, his job, to do these things. He only proved himself an upstart and a betrayer of a man who was good to him and was more than willing to help him along the road. Instead, by his act, proved that he is nothing but a "cheap-shot, low life, back-stabbing little man." "Duty is the disposition to honor obligations even without hope of reward or fear of punishment. One reveals himself to be a moral person not merely by honoring obligations but by being disposed to honor them even when it is not in his interest to do." James Q. Wilson The Messenger
